🍽 Cheap eats?

Hey foodies!

Welcome (or welcome back) to another edition of the tastiest email you’ll get all week, where we explore restaurants and spots you need to try around the Tri-Cities.

Today you’ll find some cheap eats, some breaking Milestones news, and some more things to eat.

Also, last week we asked how much tea you drink (find results at the bottom). This week we’re curious how many of you have kids. And in case you’re wondering, all these questions help us bring better content for you!

Mugs down, let’s go.

CHEAP EATS

Naan Club is offering 15% off dining in

We’ve been fans of Naan Club since they opened last year and brought a modern take on Indian food to Coquitlam.

Located off Lougheed, near the Cactus Club, Superstore, and Cineplex, they landed a convenient location with food that’ll make you coming back for more.
